Prince Nixiang thought that we Xia people were nomadic tribes, and there was no need to defend Tongwancheng. Sooner or later, we were besieged and destroyed by the Tang army step by step. We might as well divide them into several parts, discard Tongwancheng, chase water and grass in the desert of Shuofang, and eat meat and drink cheese when hungry and thirsty. If the Tang people attacked in a large scale, we would escape into the mountains. The frost and snow in the north were severe, and the soldiers and horses of the Tang people would not support them for long. In this way, we Xia people would have the advantage in natural situations. After the other side was unable to eliminate us and retreated, we would gather together again and wait for an opportunity to capture a few city blocks to regain the momentum. Maybe the situation will change at the moment, and the Xia Kingdom will have hope of reviving.

Yuan Hui in the seat lowered his head, pondered and distressed for a long time, and finally he smiled, pointed to the crown on his head in a low mood, and pointed to the silk robe on his body. Finally, he stood up and looked at the magnificent palace around him, and finally said to Prince Nixiang:

"Are these things I should have born to get? No, it was when all the leaders of the Xia people who came to the cliff of Luziguan, swear to the sunrise of the East River, and make wishes to the Zushan and Helan Mountain to the west, supporting me to become the 'green emperor' of all Xia people. The Xia people gave me everything, but I can never do anything for the Xia people. Now the foundation of the entire Xia country is in this Tongwan City. I will never escape by the wind. I am willing to lead tens of Xia people to stand strong and persist in Tongwan City. You will lead others and do what you think. We work together inside and outside to persist, and maybe there is a turning point."

"Your Majesty!" Prince Nixiang was still ready to make further persuasion, but Yuan Hui held his shoulder down. The Qing emperor was determined, "The enemy building in Tongwan City has nine-level city walls, and the city walls are extremely fine and arrows cannot be entered. Even the big muskets of the Tang people cannot defeat them. You will take other cavalry and gallop in and out between the Wuding River and the Hei Water, waiting for an opportunity to plunder the Tang army's food road."

After saying that, Yuanhui took out his two sons Yuanlong and Yuansheng from the curtain behind him and entrusted them to Prince Nixiang: "The two princes will act with you. If my battle is unfavorable, there will be a long and shortness of the city. You can continue to persevere in the name of the Qing Emperor, recruit soldiers and horses, and revive Daxia."

"Your Majesty..." Prince Nixiang choked and bowed to Yuanhui.

At this time, Gao Yue's Daying was stationed in Yuhe Fort in Yinzhou. This city is ninety miles northwest of Mizhi. Then, from Yuhe Fort, you can reach Tongwan City 120 miles west along Wuding River!

Yuhe Castle is just meeting the Diyuan River (Mingtang River) and Wuding River. Following the former to the north is Linzhou, and following the latter to the west is Xiazhou Tongwancheng. At this time, the autumn wind is flying, the flags are flying, Gao Yue and Yunfu Sword are accompanied by the generals, he rode his horse over the floating bridge on the Diyuan River, and then climbed to Yincheng Pass opposite Yuhe Castle.

This pass gradually rises to the northwest and eventually rises into a very high mountain mound. Except for the southwest corner, the rest of the other sides are mirror-like cliffs, clamping the north bank of the Wuding River and becoming a key place for east-west travel.

Gao Yue rode his horse and whipped it straight up to Yincheng Pass.

The Heyuan plains east of the pass are full of the Tang army and the Shu Qiang Yicheng camp.

Looking westward, Gao Yue knew that his ultimate goal of this conquest was there.

He held the whip, and Cai Fengyuan stood in front of the horse with a bronze map of Tongwan City, showing it in front of the eyes of Duke Ji and other generals.

"Bai Chengzi has been mentioned many times in the classics, saying that Wuding River and many mountains are in the south, and the rivers surround the city from the southwest to the northeast. In addition, the city is lofty, so it is definitely not something that humans can seize." Gao Yue sighed at this moment.

Han Tan, Guo Zaizhen, Gao Gu, Ming Huaiyi and other generals present changed their faces when they heard Mr. Ji personally say that Tong Wancheng was "not something that humans can attack", and their faces changed drastically, "Will you lose troops and generals under Tong Wancheng this time and consume money and food?"

But in a flash, Gao Yue suddenly burst into laughter and said to everyone: "What he said before is nothing but the historians wrote in books, and they are good at making a fuss. If Tongwancheng is really indestructible, why did Helian Bobo die in the second generation? In my opinion, Tongwancheng's fatal weakness is not in the west, east and south, but in the north, yes - it is the black water that Emperor Taiwu of the Later Wei Dynasty destroyed Helianchang!"

In fact, Tongwancheng was captured two years after Helian Bobo's death.

He was also defeated very cowardly. At that time, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was determined to destroy Xia, so he led only 18,000 light cavalry in the second year of Chengguang (426). In the winter of that year, he set out from Pingcheng, crossed the Yellow River, and attacked Helianchang. At that time, the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty went to the Heishui place more than 30 miles north of Tongwan City to form a formation. Helianchang was unprepared and rushed to fight in a hurry. As a result, he was defeated. The Northern Wei cavalry rushed into the Xicheng and plundered the Xia people and returned.

The next year, Emperor Taiwu led another 30,000 cavalry across the Yellow River and also established a camp in Heishui. Without waiting for the subsequent infantry and siege equipment to catch up, he fought with Helianchang in the north of the city. As a result, Helianchang's infantry formation was defeated and he could only abandon Tongwancheng and fled to Longshan to the west. He was captured soon, and Helianxia was destroyed.

Therefore, Gao Yue believed that the best way to attack Tongwancheng was that Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty four hundred years ago had already told him that it was obvious that Tongwancheng south and east were surrounded by the city walls because Wuding River surrounded the city walls, forming a double trenches. It was difficult to exert the military force to attack the city there, but the north of the city was different. It reached Heishui and Qiwu Mountain for more than 30 miles, which were all flat places that were conducive to cavalry fighting.

What? Dangxiang is good at cavalry combat?

But now, are our cavalrymen in Tang afraid of these barbarians who are scarce with armor and iron arrowheads?

At this moment, Gao Yue had made up his mind. He raised his horse whip and pointed at Diyuanchuan first. "Dingwu and Yining armies have a total of 4,800 cavalry, plus 6,000 Qiangyi from the cavalry, advancing north along this river, and detoured to the woyebo further north of Qiwu Mountain, waiting for Tiande Army Xu Baohui, Shuofang Army Kang Rizhi, and the cavalry of Dumenlang on the west road, and then heading south to attack the Hei River in the north of Tongwancheng!"

Then he turned the horse whip west of Yincheng Pass, "Gao Gu and Zhang Jingze led the two armies to a total of ten generals and infantry, Yi Cong, chariots, guns, bronze cannons, etc., to attack east of Tongwancheng along the Wuding River, using this as the main force, confusing Tuoba Chaohui."

"At the same time, I quickly sent someone to inform Jia Pushe of the West Road and General Gao Da's troops to continue to advance to Hongliuchuan, the south of Tongwancheng to capture Qi."

The generals immediately accepted the order, and Ming Huaiyi also volunteered to Ying, and the cavalry in the direction of Diyuanchuan will be handed over to me, and the infantry and artillery troops in the direction of Wudinghe will be handed over to Gao Gu, Zhang Jingze, and you can only sit in this Yuhe Fort and listen to the success of the men's victory.

However, Gao Yue's words below shocked everyone: "In this battle, the cavalry went deep into the enemy's dangerous land, and the soldiers must work together to work hard. How can I sit in the tent and curtain tent? The cavalry attacks in the direction of Diyuanchuan will be led by myself."
